ref3 limited
Just upgraded from ls26 to ref3 limited -- Wow!!!!! what an amazing piece.
First thing I noticed is how completely silent it is. Cranked the volume up all the way and heard nothing. Even inches from my tweeter only the very faintest hiss. Next add some music, which has tremendous weight and dynamics and depth, on top of that black background...... sublime... Notice some little things too:

ARC really hit the bullseye with REF3. Btw I normally keep display off so it's not bothering me ;-)

Welcome to AA!
Nice pick up! That is not an easy piece to come by. That is definitely a keeper. I have the regular Ref 3 and love it. Congrats and enjoy it. |

Thanks guys, I am really enjoying it!
here is a picture of it in my rack: I kinda wish it had the black handles, like my dac. I may move it to the top, to give it more breathing room. here is a wide shot of the room: |

phunge...very nice room and setup. Ref 3 (regular) user here for past 7 years. Love mine! Enjoy the Ltd edition
Which Focal Utopia model are you running? Other equipment apart from Ref 3 and what looks like the DAC 8? Is the Ayre the C-5xeMP? Can't tell what the amps are and the equipm on the second rack |

Beautiful room!
You can easily swap out the silver handles for black ones from ARC. They are not very costly either. Just hold onto the silver ones to replace again if you ever decide to sell it on. Nice system! |
